Angry Birds

Another Angry Birds cake! This game never gets old, I swear!! The birds, blocks and piggies are all made out of rice krispie treats. Now the song is stuck in my head.

80s Party!!

This boombox cake was made for an 80s themed birthday party. It really brought back memories while making it, I totally remember asking Santa for a boom box (ghetto blaster is what we called them) and playing pac man on my uncle's atari system. I totally remember how stuff had that geometric lettering, which is what I used for the birthday message. And the cake couldn't be complete without a mix tape!!

ode to the 60s!!

I made this cake for a couple who have their birthdays close together, and who met in the 60s and fell in love. So sweet! Hand painted tie dye was really fun to do. And the daisies remind me of the daisy chains worn on heads back in the 60s (of what I've seen in pictures and on tv)

007

This cake was for a fan of James Bond, who also turned 50. The gun was made of rice krispie treats and the design was hand cut fondant. It was a lot of fun to make, I love this design!

Minecraft

If you haven't heard of Minecraft, you've probably been living under a rock for about a year and a half. Or something. If that's the case, this is what it looks like. a bunch of squares that you build a world with, and there are people, animals, these things called creepers, zombies, and different kinds of squares with gold, jewels, metal, stone, and wood, etc. that you build houses and stuff with.
My son is completely addicted to this game, in fact he is waiting impatiently for me to finish blogging so he can get back onto the computer and start up his minecraft again. :)
This cake was relatively easy to make, I think the next minecraft one (which my son already ordered for HIS birthday) will have smaller squares and different levels. With cake orders, you are kinda limited to how big the cake can be, depending on how many servings the client wants, and that's how I charge them $$, so I was limited on size for this one. But my son gets cakes for free so he is probably designing a complete town that will take me three years to build. We will have to come to some sort of a compromise with that one. :)

Gumpaste Orchids

This was another cake that the client gave me creative freedom on. "Tiffany blue and orchids, really simple and modern" is what she said. I love the look of a line of flowers down the center of a clean simple cake. So elegant. I will definitely use this design sometime again.

Minnie Mouse

This cake is the complete look of Minnie Mouse, from the fat white polka dots to the big yellow bow and the ruffle around the bottom. I love making these cakes! It sort of seems like they are all kinda different too for some reason. This one was really simple and clean, I really think it works, don't you?
